With his 2014 reelection race looming, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., raised just over $1 million in the first three months of the year.

According to a Merkley campaign source, the senator now has $1.3 million in cash on hand. While that's not a towering number for an incumbent senator, it's pretty good for a freshman who so far doesn't even have a serious opponent on the horizon.
